Israel to Guinea visa requirements

Israeli passport holders need an eVisa to visit Guinea (Conakry) for tourism. Apply online before travel through the official PAF Guinea portal; there is no visa-free or visa-on-arrival channel. A holder of an ordinary Israeli passport must obtain a visa before traveling to the Republic of Guinea for tourism. Guinea is not in the Schengen area and does not grant Israeli citizens visa-free entry or a guaranteed visa on arrival. Since the relaunch of its electronic visa system, the standard route is the eVisa applied for through the official Direction Nationale de la Police de l'Air et des Frontieres (PAF) portal at paf.gov.gn. The tourist eVisa costs USD 80 and permits a stay of up to 90 days; an Entry Visa Letter is issued by email after approval (typically within about 72 hours / 3 business days), and the final visa, including photo and fingerprint capture, is completed at the port of entry. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for entry into Guinea, and the passport must be valid for at least six months. Guinea and Israel restored diplomatic relations in 2016, and there are no Israel-specific entry bans noted; the standard eVisa policy applies. Travelers should apply only through the official paf.gov.gn portal to avoid third-party markups.
